Our dear friend Morgan Hopfensperger joined us in NC to film our wedding and the numerous celebrations involved. This video is a compilation of some of the best moments. We would like to thank Morgan for all his hard work on this piece which came out amazing! He made us look good, which we appreciate. His company is Go North Films, check him out, you won’t...

Since David and I (with the help of my wonderfully talented Mom) designed and created so many different pieces for the wedding, we decided the best way to show it was to make one single interactive document with everything together, so you can see it all at once. My web guy (ie David) was able to code the image as a Google Maps document, so you can zoom in and out and...

I know this post is coming to you a little late, but it seems the dust is still settling around here.

For anyone who is interested in reading our story, we have quite the history. Our lives first intersected when we were both students at Maitland Middle School (go Hawks!) back in 1999. David was in 8th grade— a cute, skinny boy with a great smile and Morgan in 7th— a naive ex-home schooler still wearing Gap Kids.

After David proposed, we got into his truck to go tell our families the big news and I said to him “You do realize, now we have to plan a wedding, right?” We are happy to announce, after much wrestling with vendors and ourselves (well, really just me), we have found the perfect venue on the perfect date.

The weekend of the wedding should be absolutely beautiful (fingers crossed!). The average high for September 30th in Banner Elk is 74˚ and the average low is 54˚, so we’re hoping for that (and no rain!). Pack short sleeves for day, and a cozy sweater for night. But don’t worry if you forget your sweater, we’ll have plenty of bonfires and hot cocoa to keep you warm!
